The Myth of Bernie's Integrity and Consistency

After almost 50 years in politics, Bernie Sanders will say anything to get ahead. Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman.

The podcaster was repeating a popular myth about Bernie Sanders.

Bernie Sanders moved from Vermont to Washington D.C. because a little organization called the NRA sent out a letter to its members telling them, "Bernie Sanders is a more honorable choice for Vermont sportsmen than Peter Smith." Bernie ended up voting against a seven-day waiting period to buy guns, against the Brady Bill, and voted for a bill to protect firearms manufacturers from lawsuits.

There's nothing wrong with that except that now Bernie keeps talking about taking on the NRA. But Bernie's pitch to a gun rights group was, "I won't change my views on the subject."

"If you passed the strongest gun control legislation tomorrow, I don't think it will have a profound effect on the tragedies we have seen," Bernie Sanders had argued in 2013.

Fast forward 5 years and Bernie Sanders blamed school shootings on a "Three-letter word".

Bernie is no more principled than the other senators running in 2020.
